You really think a team with Aldridge as a go-to guy, , I am laughing already, will be the best out of all 30 teams in the league with their best player out?

Celtics & LA

[Ghazi]

I'd say Celtics. Kobe is far more important to the Lakers than KG is to the Celtics. Celtics would still have multiple players that could take over a game...honestly I think the only such player on the Lakers is Kobe.

I think KG is still the best player on that team as far as overall impact, although he hardly amazes you with his statistics anymore.

Lakers or Boston.

Boston because there three best players are all pretty equal contributors.

Lakers because they are so damn stacked behind Kobe, and have a post presence who you can run an offense through.

I would probly say LA.

That's easy. Celtics (but maybe they would need Big Baby).
On paper, I don't think anybody would bet on the Rockets, but they like to prove people wrong, don't they?

Nuggets. You replace a one dimensional All star with an all-round superstar in Balkman

Yeah, sure... Good luck with that...

Boston.

Rockets....for crying out loud we are 13-9 and have played the toughest schedule and are without our TWO best players.

We can't afford to lose another player lol

Celtics.

They can still beat most top teams without KG.

KG isn't their best player. Pussy boy doesn't even want the rock in the 4th.

Pierce is the man in Bean Town.

[Culburn369]

Rondo is their best player.

[exstatic]

Rondo is their fourth best player.

With herds of wild buffalo, biggest and strongest bulls are easiest to kill with arrow. Buffalo has come to know this so big and strong bulls push weakest bulls out into open field when they run. Those biggest and strongest bulls use their instinct for survival against those weak bulls. And when I say "biggest and strongest bulls" I mean Kevin Garnett. And when I say "weak bulls" I mean small white or European point guards. And when I say "use their instinct for survival" I mean "act like a complete and total ass." Without the -assness of the big and strong bulls, herds of wild buffalo actually survive better as herd. Houston Rockets do best without their biggest and strongest , I mean bull.

Houston really is making a pretty good case without Yao and T-Mac, but I don't think they can keep this pace up throughout the season and I don't think they're legit contenders in the west. But now that Boston picked up Sheed, if KG (and I know it's arguable that KG is the best player over Paul Pierce) goes down, I think the Celtics would still be one of the top contenders in the east. If it's Pierce that goes down, the Celtics would probably feel it more because his back-ups are Marquis Daniels and Tony Allen. But they'd still probably a top 3 or 4 team in the east.
